Greetings from New Zealand

[Mille]

Hi all, I've only just recently decided to hit the tobacco growing scene. I've joined this forum for the sole purpose to learn more about the growth process and hopefully for aid from experienced growers whilst I document my first blog.

New Zealand is a small country, there aren't many growers of tobacco over here. I hope to meet some awesome people on here!

Hi Mille,

Welcome from me. I think us kiwis are growing well in numbers in here
You will find heaps of info to read and learn from. I have spent hours pouring through the threads for answers in the last year.
Plus the support and encouragement from members is great.
Where in New Zealand are you?

Cheers
Jenny

While it's true that there aren't very many NZers who are active and regular contributors in this Forum I don't think this is any indication of the number of Kiwis who grow and process their own tobacco. Extrapolating numbers from what I know about my own little neck of the woods I'd say that throughout the country home-growers would be in the thousands.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. And let us know where you actually live. (I promise you that we won't come raiding - we're too busy with our own stuff).

How about a photo?
Here's some of mine, one hour's drive to the west. These were planted into the open ground on November 1. (Eight different varieties).
